Unless you were immune to the electricity, which I doubt you would be, I can see a problem in that. Remember that the fire sword here damage it's user as well, hence the gloves thing. I think a lightning enchanted sword would be even worse at it, since it's easier to control fire than electricity. Also since electricity is more jumpy than fire, I don't think gloves would be enough to protect you D: You'd have to run around in an entire rubber suit or something like that... And then there's the issue that the electricity might jump to hit your allies if they stand to close... All in all... I think that such a weapon would be too problematic to control.
